Homemade Pizza by Kids

We love to make Homemade Pizza!! The kids LOVE to Help. Here is what the kids like the most. My Niece A.G. helped us this day!

1 package of Pillsbury Pizza Dough (in the section with biscuits & crescent rolls)

1 jar- of Organic Spaghetti Sauce (you will only use half the jar)

1 package of Oscar Meyer Deli Chicken strips

16 ounces of fresh graded mozzarella cheese

1 bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1 Roma tomato (thinly sliced)

1 small can of sliced black olives

(you can add any more or omit any of the ingredients for your taste)

I only Bake on STONES....so, I like to add a little of cornmeal on bottom of stone before you add dough- it helps it to stick and not slide while you roll out dough.

Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes at 350*

Remove dough and let cool- especially if kids are helping. Then add tomato sauce and vegetables. Top with cheese.

Place back in oven- until cheese is completely melted and crust is lightly golden brown.

Kids love the fact they help create their own pizza. For mini pizzas you can substitute a can on 8 Jumbo Biscuits. This is a great idea for a slumber party- to have each child make their own pizza!! My mom did this for us....glad I can continue the fun tradition!!

Fun Snack for Kids

Here is a fun snack- My friend Minna was looking for New Ideas for snacks. I remembered about the post I did about this great snack!
Here is what you will need:
Crackers
Peanut Butter ( If you use organic cashew or almond butter- it is better for you)
Raisins or Craisins
Carrots
Creative mind
Kids

Use PB on each cracker and then place a dried fruit on top. Then make a face on each individual cracker or you can make a large face, as I did.

*You can also use PB on Celery and place dried fruit....or we like to eat bell peppers....that make interesting characters too- with Ranch dressing.

*You can slice an apple and they can place then in different shapes. It is a good math lesson too- teaching about fractions and also good lessons in sharing.

*You can use it as a learning colors, shapes & textures- all different fruit & veggies.

*I cut open a whole pineapple after T asked over and over- when we would go to the store, "what is that- it looks ugly?" I used it as a lesson on how just because something looks bad on the outside- when you cut it open and it smells sweet & tastes great....You never judge by the outside of anything or anyone. You look inside at their heart!!

You can use different veggies & fruit- and I makes eating healthy fun!!I surprised T one day when he came home from school- HE LOVED IT!! Thought it was the neatest thing!! We have special snacks like these often!!
What snacks do you like to fix with your kiddos??
